Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA,
Adnan Oktar was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his
primary and secondary education in Ankara, he studied fine arts
at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul
University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books on po-
litical, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-
known as the author of important works disclosing the imposture
of evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between
Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and commu-
nism.
Harun Yahya’s works, translated into 63 different languages,
constitute a collection for a total of more than 55,000 pages with
40,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and
Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought
against their peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books'
covers is symbolic and is linked to their contents. It represents the
Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad (saas), last of
the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah
(teachings of the Prophet [saas]), the author makes it his purpose to
disprove each fundamental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have
the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised
against religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet (saas), who at-
tained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his intention
to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to convey the
Qur'an's message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-re-
lated issues such as Allah's existence and unity and the
Hereafter; and to expose irreligious systems' feeble founda-
tions and perverted ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many
countries, from India to America, England to Indonesia,
Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil, Malaysia to Italy,
France to Bulgaria and Russia. Some of his books
